Academic World Quest

“Founded in 2003, the AWQ competition is a team game testing high school students’ knowledge of international affairs. During the academic year preceding the national competition, approximately 3000 students across the country participate in competitions hosted by over 40 local World Affairs Councils in 26 states. AWQ is a team game, like the “College Bowl” from the 60’s & 70’s. The students’ knowledge of international affairs, geography, history, and culture is tested in competitions throughout the school year.”
